Dear Jaspreet, if your interest lies in Astronomy, then a Bachelor's degree in AstroPhysics will fit the bill. It is a 3-year Undergraduation course involving the physical and chemical properties of the Universe and celestial bodies. In this course, you will be trained on subjects like Thermodynamics, Electromagnetism, Newtonian Dynamics, Waves, Optics, Modern Physics, and you can also study Atomic, Nuclear and Quantum Physics, Solid State Physics, Relativity, and Fluid Mechanics. For being eligible for this course, you should have completed your 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. And admission to this course is based on an entrance examination of various Universities that conduct this course.
